If your looking for an amazing indie film with great acting, story line and characters than STOP and watch cherry.I first came across cherry when I was on a Kyle Gallner movie binge watching session. At first the trailer didn't excite me but I thought I'd give it a shot anyways.Aaron is a young shy, nerdy kid going to collage. His pushy mother signs him up for his classes that although he is brilliant at doesn't particularly want to do. So he secretly swaps one for an art class where his whole world gets knocked upside down by a beautiful older women and her teenage daughter.I love everything about this film. The quick dialogue, the characters, the fact that you don't even feel like your watching an indie film. You could watch Cherry 10 times over and you'll still laugh and cry like it was the first time. 10/10

Cherry has everything that an indie teen rom-com should have, yet the first half of the movie lacks a real attention grabber. It took me a good 45 minutes before I found myself truly engaged with the film. Other than that, the movie successfully affected me in a way any indie rom-com should. Personally, i believe this is due to the stellar cast and supporting cast. Not to mention, the writing was brilliant as well. Britt Robertson stole the spotlight no matter what scene she was in with her complex, yet intriguing and lovable character. Robertson truly proves herself as an actress in this movie and Laura (Linda) plays the messed-up mother character impressively. It's a movie that every teenager can relate to and doesn't exclude any vital part of growing up and going to college. Nevertheless, Cherry is a heart-warming and interesting film thanks to the writing and exceptional performances. I would recommend this movie to anyone who has a few hours to kill and wants to shed a few tears!

Saw this on Netflix streaming movies, it was one of the recommendations based on my rating of other movies. The title has at least a couple of different references but one is the young student's virginal status.At 20-something Kyle Gallner plays 17-year-old college freshman Aaron. It is an Ivy League school but was actually filmed in the Kalamazoo, Michigan area. He has been admitted to an advanced program with scholarship and starts out as a very serious student. But that changes quickly when in art class he meets a very friendly student, 30-something Laura Allen as 30-something Linda who, it turns out has a 14-yr-old daughter. Britt Robertson, about 20, is that daughter Beth. Aaron quickly gets attracted to Linda, who it seems is just enjoying his company, while Beth soon falls in love with Aaron. That sparks most of what happens the rest of the way. Including Esai Morales as Wes , the cop that wants to marry Linda who isn't being a very good mother for Beth. The movie is not a comedy but there are many funny parts, as reflective of real life. Aaron gets very distracted from his school work, falls behind, gets some bad grades, and after an auto accident his parents show up. He is in danger of losing everything he has worked for.Different, somewhat quirky story, I enjoyed it.

This film was full of surprises. It is nothing like you expect, and I hail it as the religious textbook, or should I say "video" book of our future generation. Well, maybe, not that exactly. However, I frequently look at Hollywood films (frequently reminded), and I tell myself, "why did they get Oscars? I hate this trash!" So now, recently I have been looking at independent films, such as "Cherry." After watching Cherry, I can honestly say that ALL Hollywood filmmakers MUST and should be required to take acting/filmmaking lessons from the filmmakers of this movie, Cherry. I say this, because this movie is done on a level of power that will only be available in the future. Enough said, I "Cherrish" this movie! oooooooh!
